Setting Up Digital Networking
Prerequisites
Cisco Unity is already installed on the servers, according to the requirements and instructions in the
Cisco Unity installation guide.
Cisco Unity meets the requirements as described in the “Requirements for Setting Up Digital
Networking” section on page 2-1.

Task List: Setting Up Digital Networking

Use this task list to set up Digital Networking on each Cisco Unity server. The cross-references take you
to detailed procedures. If a system is using failover, do the tasks only on the primary server unless a task
requires changing the registry, which must be done on both the primary and secondary servers. (The
instructions will note this.)
1. Optionally, obtain and enable a license file for license pooling. See the “Enabling License Pooling
(Optional)” section on page 2-4.
2. Customize the primary location. See the “Customizing the Primary Location” section on page 2-6.
3. Set the addressing, directory handler, and automated attendant search scopes. See the “Setting the
Addressing, Directory Handler, and Automated Attendant Search Scopes” section on page 2-6. The
Automated Attendant search option must be set to search the dialing domain in order for identified
subscriber messaging to work.
4. Optionally, enable identified subscriber messaging (ISM). See the “Setting Up Identified Subscriber
Messaging Between Networked Cisco Unity Subscribers (Optional)” section on page 2-8.
5. Modify the All Subscribers public distribution list. See the “Modifying the All Subscribers Public
Distribution List” section on page 2-10.
6. Optionally, add alternate extensions to each subscriber account. For instructions, see the “Setting
Up Alternate Extensions” section in the “Setting Up Features That Are Controlled by Subscriber or
Subscriber Template Settings” chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity, at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
7. Optionally, set up system broadcast messaging in order to send system broadcasts to all subscribers
in the directory. See the “Setting Up System Broadcast Messaging for Sending to All Subscribers in
the Directory (Optional)” section on page 2-10.
8. Optionally, change the default search scope in the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant to the
global directory. See the “Changing the Default Search Scope for the Cisco PCA (Optional)” section
on page 2-11.
